SDG 17 PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS - Regional Forum 2026.
Partnerships For the Goals Partnerships for Human-Centric Inclusive Digital Transformation.
Despite the growing role of digital technologies in advancing sustainable development, the digital divide remains a major challenge. Around 2.2 billion people remain offline globally, and even more lack meaningful access to connectivity, digital skills and digital public services, with persistent gaps across regions, income levels, gender and rural-urban divides. Without stronger cooperation and coordinated action, digitalization risks reinforcing existing gaps rather than helping to close them.
This session will bring together governments, UN agencies, the private sector, youth, civil society and other stakeholders to discuss how partnerships can accelerate digital transformation and support progress towards the 2030 Agenda.
The round table will explore how digital and AI-enabled solutions can support SDG implementation across various areas such as health, agriculture, education, emergency preparedness, climate action, and public service delivery, while also addressing the risks. These will include issues related to data governance, privacy, cybersecurity, environmental impacts, and unequal access to emerging technologies.
